I don't think it makes any difference in Russia or Ukraine as to if the woman has a green card or not.

Of course we (us guys) care as it allows for free movement between the two countries

Jack my wife and I are thinking now is the time to get in on investing in property over there! I doubt an educated country such as Ukrain and Russia (with all their resources) will stay in an economic crunch as they are in now. We're betting they will eventually catch up with the rest of Europe and the value of property will be a big time good investment!

My brother from Ukraine told me about this three-bedroom flat being sold for $2000, but it's impossible to rent it out (if you are not planning to live there and just have it as an investment) and many people rent out their flats just for paying utilities bills at no income to the owner at all, because it's impossible to turn the utilities off. I don't think it's a such a good idea, at least for now
